CityCouncil | 2016-11-01 | 19 | The City Manager stated there was a misstatement on the Pacific Pinball Museum lease and the City's ability to terminate the lease after one year; the lease language states only the tenant may terminate the lease after one year; one option is to have Council reconsider the vote; if the Council wants to reconsider and add as a two-way lease termination, staff would bring the matter back at the next meeting. The City Attorney responded a motion to reconsider is needed to re-open the item. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how a motion to reconsider works. The City Attorney responded the motion to reconsider has to be from someone on the prevailing side. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval of reconsidering the introduction of ordinance approving a lease and authorizing the City Manager to execute documents necessary to implement terms of a lease with Pacific Pinball Museum. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4. [Absent: Councilmember Daysog - 1.] Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the matter no longer qualifies as a first reading of the ordinance. The City Attorney responded the change would have to be negotiated with the other party and brought back; stated it is not a first reading. Mayor Spencer inquired whether direction should be given to staff. The City Manager responded direction should be given to staff through a motion. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval of directing staff to negotiate having both sides be able to terminate the lease. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Spencer stated that she believes the lease terms need to be negotiated; dictating what the lease terms would look like is not appropriate. The City Manager stated she is interpreting the motion to direct staff to go back and negotiate a two-way early termination, otherwise staff will still come back with whatever is agreed to. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the two-way early termination lease is more appropriate. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council November 1, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-11-01.pdf |
